Chapter 62 The Power That Cannot Be Understood by Human Thinking
Just when Taylor and countless other high-ranking officials who received the news were feeling desperate.
The NASA representative hurriedly called out over the phone.
"That giant...he moved!"
At this moment, NASA headquarters had completely transferred the images observed from Goddard Space Flight Center, and a group of NASA department heads were nervously watching the satellite images.
The giant, orbiting the Earth's satellite, slowly turned around to face the enormous comet hurtling towards the sun.
"He is flying towards the comet!"
"Speed...no, it's unpredictable!"
To their incomprehension, the mysterious giant was flying towards the direction from which the comet was approaching.
"What?"
Taylor's eyes flickered. What exactly was that giant trying to do by approaching the comet?
Is the intention really to use this comet to destroy Earth?
"Transfer the satellite footage to me too!" he shouted into the phone, needing to know the live feed.
A few seconds later, an image also appeared on the screen inside the private jet that Taylor was on.
From the satellite's lens, a huge blue planet can be seen; that is their home, Earth.
In the view of another satellite, the pitch-black universe can be seen, with the sun, much larger than Earth, shining brightly in the distance.
A comet with a diameter of over 100 kilometers, trailing a colorful tail, hurtled straight toward Earth from the direction of the Sun. This was a celestial body capable of bringing devastating damage to all life on Earth.
"It's so huge..." Taylor looked at the comet, growing more and more desperate. Comets this size are extremely rare, and this is the first one to head straight for Earth.
"What...what are the giants going to do?"
Satellites also captured images of the giant.
The giant, with its slender body and red and silver coloring, maintained a flying posture as it rapidly approached the comet.
The speed exhibited by the other side in space far exceeds that of any human spacecraft, a speed that humans can never reach.
Not only Taylor, but all astronomical institutions in the Western Hemisphere, including NASA, were observing the giant's every move.
"That's too fast!"
"The image is going to be lost!" Technicians from the Canadian Space Agency were frantically adjusting the footage, but they couldn't keep up with the giant's speed.
“What is he going to do... wait, the giant has slowed down!” Wilson shouted with a frown at Goddard Space Flight Center.
"Quick, zoom in on the image!"
"Okay!" Cooper had already completed the operation before he even finished speaking.
"This is......"
"The giant raised an arm. What was he going to do?"
"I don't know." The technician next to him shook his head; they were all guessing the giant's intentions.
"After raising one arm, he raised the other arm as well."
Taylor was also keeping an eye on the giants' movements.
The mysterious alien giant first raised one arm to his chest, then slowly raised the other arm and gently placed it on the wrist of the raised arm, forming a cross.
"The cross...is he...really God?"
In that incredibly tense moment, a bead of sweat unknowingly appeared on Taylor's forehead.
He didn't know what the giant was going to do, but he knew that every move of this completely unknown giant would affect the fate of their entire human civilization.
"Do you want us to live, or... do you want to see humanity perish...?" Taylor stared intently at the screen, took a deep breath, and made the sign of the cross with his hand in front of his chest.
As a high-ranking official in a human government, or even as the United Nations representative of the United States, he holds a position above hundreds of millions of people in any country, and always maintains composure and dignity.
But now, he can only pray for his future in his heart.
"The giant's body is experiencing an extremely high heat response!"
"It's a ray of light!"
"A beam of blue light containing extremely high heat was emitted from one side of the giant's palm!" the technicians watching the scene shouted in disarray.
They witnessed a scene they would never forget.
That was a scene that completely shattered their understanding of science.
Perhaps this is how it is when a lower civilization encounters a higher civilization—completely unable to comprehend it.
A dazzling blue beam of light burst forth from the side of the giant's palm, hurtling toward the comet, which was over a hundred kilometers in diameter, at a speed that satellite cameras could not capture.
The giant's figure appeared extremely small in comparison to the size of the comet, and the thin beam of light also seemed insignificant. Even so, the comet's speed still slowed down when it came into contact with the light!
"Contact has been made!"
"How is that possible!?"
"The comet... is moving backward!"
"That giant used an unknown beam of light to repel the comet!" Technicians at various astronomical institutions could hardly believe this fact.
That comet, capable of easily destroying Earth's ecosystem, is now being forced to retreat by a giant over fifty meters tall?
Fifty meters and one hundred thousand meters are not even in the same league in terms of volume!
The fact is that the comet is retreating at an extremely fast speed, while the energy of the Specium Ray is constantly accumulating inside, and cracks have already appeared on its surface, as if it is about to explode at any moment!
"The comet...exploded!" the technician shouted instantly.
After the comet was propelled away by the giant's beam of light, it exploded directly from within, sending countless fragments hurtling towards the sun.
"What... what level of energy is this?"
"It actually caused this comet to explode!"
"Capable of surviving regardless of the space environment...possessing speeds far exceeding any human spacecraft...and even having the ability to directly destroy comets..."
"What kind of civilization does he come from...?"
These astronomers are among the most knowledgeable about the stars, but even they couldn't imagine that such a thing existed in the universe.
“That comet…it wasn’t brought by the giants…” After seeing this, Taylor leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
He had never been so nervous before, even after being threatened by the monsters of the Pioneers for so many years.
Without a doubt, the civilization behind this giant far surpasses that of the pioneers; it is a civilization that humanity could not even imagine.
It's astonishing that a single individual can influence the fate of a planet.
Fortunately, it's clear from their actions that they had no intention of destroying human civilization.
"Mr. Taylor!"
"The giants are moving again!" came the voice from the other end of the phone.
"Are they heading towards the Earth's interior?!" Taylor asked hastily, hoping they were there to negotiate amicably with humanity.
Having done humanity such a great favor, the next step should logically be negotiations between civilizations.
"He...that giant is flying along the Earth's satellite orbit!"
"We've lost our target!"
Chapter 63 Starting Plan B
Outside the atmosphere, in Earth's satellite orbit, a mysterious giant is flying around the orbit at a speed unimaginable to humans.
At first, their satellites could barely capture the giant's silhouette, but when the giant was flying at full speed in space, none of their satellites could observe any images of it.
It flew around the Earth, circling it again and again, passing through every country on Earth.
Finally, stop moving.
"The Russian Special Astrophysical Observatory has sent a message that they have observed a giant!"
"The Indian Space Research Organisation has sent a message saying they have also discovered a giant!"
"The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan has sent a message that they have also discovered a giant..."
More and more astronomical institutions have discovered giants beyond Earth. This time, it wasn't just in the Western Hemisphere; after the giant stopped, astronomical institutions in the Eastern Hemisphere also discovered it.
"What exactly does he want to do?" Taylor sat in the private jet, his hands clasped together, trying to figure out the giant's motives.
From his perspective, once the giant started flying at full speed, it was no different from disappearing.
After slowing down, they captured the image again, as if it had appeared suddenly.
What the giants did and where they went during this period of silence remains unknown to them.
"Flying...flying around the Earth...does that mean he flew a full circle in Earth's satellite orbit during this period?"
"No... at this speed, it must have flown more than one lap."
"Is he observing civilizations within Earth?"
"The time between disappearing and reappearing... is..."
Taylor stared at the computer screen in front of him, frowning as he pondered.
He slowly uttered an astonishing number: "2 minutes and 57 seconds."
"If I'm not mistaken, those 2 minutes and 57 seconds are the time it took for the giant to fly through space and pass over all the countries."
After reaching this conclusion, he suddenly felt a chill creep up his spine and into his limbs.
He wondered what would happen if the giant released that beam of light during its flight.
"...This giant is far more dangerous than the Pioneers." Taylor imagined the scene in his mind and immediately realized that once this giant had the idea of destroying human civilization, it would only take him less than three minutes.
In any case, if we are able to negotiate with the giants later, we must never show any hostility towards extraterrestrial civilizations.
As a politician, he cherishes everything he has now.
